If your like me you've been scrolling away in firefox maybe looking for home renovation projects or while playing some music with xmms in the background, then all of a sudden BAM! you mouse is stuck and the OS is frozen well when you force shutdown you might see something like this when dsl trys to reboot
yeah it sucks. To recover from this lets first remount the HD. Directly after the error message is shown type:
now it should insert a return and send you to a new line in which you will type:
this is to repair whatever damages the hd suffered from the force shutdown. Let it do it's thing going all the way up to 100%, however if it says the hd is CLEAN then you want to reboot (the safe non-forced way) by telling the terminal:
in case you curious the -r is for restart and now is telling the terminal you want to resart RIGHT now. I hope someone out there can use this, I know that when I first was in this situation I had no idea what to do Posted by evilbstrd666 on Aug. 04 2006,23:49
Thank you. I wish I read this post a month ago, before I found out what caused my crashes..... (Using Opera, didn't know the web cache was set so high by default...... good way to kill a computer) Posted by xmikeox on Aug. 05 2006,05:31
